Re: Retro Rewatch Pleasant Discoveries

does anyone remember a british horror short called dream house in which a couple buy a house and the wife starts to see people who are not there.the husband thinks she is having a breakdown after she sees bodies in the bath and other rooms all stabbed to death,i remember wathing this at the cinema around 1981, it frightened me and my friend to death as there was no sound track and no way of knowing when somthing was going to happen.it was a short as the main feature was the exterminator wich was'nt half bad either

Re: Retro Rewatch Pleasant Discoveries

Not a pleasent discovery, but news to me anyway. Had to look it up to confirm after watching, but the preppy kid is the same actor playing the same exact named character from Friday the 13th remake as in the first Transformers. Michael Bay....ugh.

Started watching Book of Shadows: Blair Witch 2 for the first time a couple days ago and was pleasantly surprised to see the lead actor was Jeffrey Donovan -- he of Burn Notice fame. I shut the movie off a half an hour into it because, well, it sucked -- but you could see from his performance that he wanted to leave an impression in his first lead role. And he did, it's just too bad it couldn't have been in a better movie.

Re: Retro Rewatch Pleasant Discoveries

Just rewatched David Cronenberg's Rabid this morning and in the scene where Hart Read and Murray Cypher are driving to the clinic, on the radio a story hit's about a man biting a woman at a truck stop. What's cool is they actually reference the man as being from my home town of Campbellford

Re: Retro Rewatch Pleasant Discoveries

^^Just never watch Warlock 2. Ick.For some reason that reminds me of Dr. Mordrid. Man, why did Full Moon Video have to go belly up? They made some quality sutff for a while.

They went belly up? I just saw Charles Band at a convention last summer.

It would take about 10 pages to go through all the companies, divisions, and spin offs Band has been involved in.Full Moon was the top of Band's horror career. For a variety of reasons, he eventually spun off part of the business and renamed the other. Then a bunch of other stuff happened, and then about 5 years ago he brought back Full Moon Productions.I admire the guy, he's like some of the 70s and early 80s producers/directors who had little time and even less money to make movies. Yet Band managed to pull off a bunch of good movies.Actually met him back around 1990/91 at a distributor convention. Got a nice little press kit that he signed for me. Nice guy, quite funny.
